Distributed Architecture

Scope and source boundary
Centralized, distributed and decentralized topologies must be chosen from requirements without redefining domain semantics.
The runtime books distinguish centralized, distributed and decentralized topologies. These choices concern component placement, communication, ownership and failure handling; they should not silently change what a business concept means. Local service calls and remote invocations need explicit operation and consistency boundaries.
Engineering rules
- Choose the smallest topology consistent with required deployment and fault boundaries.
- Document state ownership and what crosses a remote call.
- Treat retry, cancellation, duplicate delivery and disconnection as design conditions.
- Do not claim the same execution guarantees for every transport or platform.
